Guijalo Port
by Caramoan Tourist Guide

At Guijalo port at last! The trip from Sabang took about 2 hours. By this time, we were practically vibrating with excitement. We arrived with the water low enough for us to cross directly from our boat. Apparently, when it’s high tide, passengers will have to ride a canoe from the boat to get to the port.

They use to carry each passenger on their shoulder to the boat. Now they use a make shift floating bridge. It costs 10 pesos each with a maximum of ten people at a time.

Sabang Port
by Caramoan Tourist Guide

Here's Sabang Port. Can't get any basic than that. We didn't have to wait long. The boats schedules are hourly from 5:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. From Naga, you take another bus or jeep that takes another 2 hours. On our way back we took the van that only took a little less than hour. We didn't know you can ride a van or where it was at the bus terminal. I'm sure you can asked any of the more helpful people at the bus terminal to point you at the right direction.

Sabang Port, Where Your Unique Journey Begins
by cyndymc

I have seen pictures of Sabang Port posted by a photo buddy, but I couldn't quite imagine how/why they looked so laid back...until I saw it for myself. There was no structure whatsoever that would identify the place as Sabang Port. When everybody got off the Filcab van we rode from Naga City, hubby and I knew that it must be the place. And when men came scampering to meet the van, and with loud voices offered to carry passengers' bags, we knew they were the porters.

We travelled light with only one traveling bag for our clothes (which hubby could have carried by himself in addition to his backpack), but we decided to get one porter. The porters walked so fast so we thought we had to be there at once to catch the boat. Our porter offered to carry my backpack, then breezed through small alleys, passed through sandy ground until we reached the beach. He put our traveling bags on a long bench made of bamboos. It turned out to be the waiting area for passengers, conveniently located under the coconut trees. From there, we had a good view of the coastline and Mt. Isarog.

It was a little past 9am, and we expected a boat to leave at 10am because we saw a boat arrive, but we were told that the next trip would be at 11am. Perhaps, it was that way during weekdays on lean months when there were few tourists. Most of the waiting passengers were students, teachers and other Caramoan locals who came from Naga. I was already feeling hungry (only had very light breakfast) and uncomfortable (personal necessity). I looked around but couldn't find a public restroom.

Thanks to my VT bag tag, a curious waiting passenger asked me what Virtual Tourist meant. I guess I warmed up on her, she asked me to join them to have a meal at a nearby carinderia. Hubby didn't want to join us because our bags would be left unattended on the bench, so only I went with them. More than alleviating my hunger pangs, my utmost concern that time was to find a comfort room. Fortunately, the carinderia was just behind, a few steps from the waiting area, and it had a CR for their customers (read about this matter in another tip).

At about 10:20 am, passengers were asked to write on the boat's manifesto. At about 10:30 am, passengers were already allowed to go to the boat. Our boat left Sabang Port before 11am, about 10:45 am. I looked back as we left the port, and appreciated the simple beauty of the small coastal barangay of Sabang.

When we returned to Sabang from Caramoan, I was surprised to see that we didn't dock at the same place where we left for Caramoan. We docked near the Caramoan market. I asked the skipper before I left the boat; he said they dock there when it is not yet low tide. Since we got the first trip (7am) from Caramoan, waters were still high, enabling boats to enter that side of the port.
